Own and optimize CloudFront distributions for high-traffic, latency-sensitive web applications
Design and manage AWS WAF security controls, including rule development, tuning, and threat mitigation
Build and maintain infrastructure using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) in TypeScript
Improve platform resilience, scalability, and performance across global regions
Implement protections against large-scale attacks (e.g. DDoS, traffic spikes, abusive patterns)
Analyze traffic behavior and continuously optimize caching, routing, and security policies
Contribute to standardization and automation of global public infrastructure
Collaborate closely with engineering teams to support secure and performant delivery of web applications

Strong operational mindset with incident handling and continuous improvement

Highly Valuable Experience

Operating high-volume commercial or consumer-facing web platforms
Edge performance engineering and latency optimization
Advanced caching strategies and origin shielding
Security engineering at CDN / edge layer
Automation and standardization of public infrastructure at scale

Profile Characteristics

Deep specialist rather than generalist cloud engineer
Strong engineering mindset with real production accountability
Comfortable working in highly mature technical environments with expert peers
